“Reward our friends and punish our enemies” – are we now in the final push in “breaking us” to Fundamentally Transform” us?

May 28, 2013

I have been scared for a while now – for our Constitutional Republic built on our Constitution and its Classical Western Liberal values (not to be confused by the very illiberal Liberals who absconded with yet another word, placing their own definition on it (like gay)).  It has been under assault for decades but from [ Read more ]

Did uber-Obama confident put a pin into the Progressive ballon and made it go “Pop!”?

May 15, 2013

I know I keep harping on this but one of the main tenets of Progressivism is to bring about the Administrative State – a place in time where expert technocrats “guide” the rest of us through our lives.  These are unelected, unaccountable, and most likely, unapproachable bureaucrats working in a centralized government situation sitting down [ Read more ]

Guest post by NH State Rep. Mike Sylvia: “The Power of Words”

April 17, 2013

The Power of Words Words are important as they transmit ideas. Santa Claus: I just stuck a fat bearded man in a red suit into your mind. Sorry, you’ll get over it soon enough. Of course, I didn’t do it by myself, you had a lot of training when you were a child to get [ Read more ]

Tyranny? Proper Role of Govt for a Senator demanding Fox Sports to not to air NASCAR race because of NRA sponsorship?

April 12, 2013

“Nice network and race series you have there – shame if something happened to it (if the Feds were to start looking at them)” I wanted to start this post off with “Have guns become the new pornography that must be silenced?” but that would miss the nuance of the Progressive mind that ALL things [ Read more ]

Honoring your Oath? Others seem to believe your oath to the Constitution is not mere words. Here’s another one: Accountability

April 11, 2013

Accountability – a most hated word in politics.  Oh sure, whoever the Political Class doesn’t like will be held to such (after all, they wield the power).  But they never like it when the masses play the “turnabout fair play” game (or journalists, from what I seem, but I repeat myself as many in journalism [ Read more ]

The Paleo Party

April 9, 2013

The thing the Democrat Party wants the most is to convince us that it is in our best interest, regardless of the interest, to let the government manage as much of our community and our lives as possible.  Cost is, of course, no object (because it is not their money).  But this is the oldest [ Read more ]

“It’s for the Children!” – except when it is all about an adult

April 2, 2013

The Left’s second most rallying cry (and generally the lie most likely to be rolled out as a club) is “It’s for the children!” as if that is supposed to stop all debate by shaming their opposition (with the undertone of “what, you hate kids?  Don’t much like puppies or Mom’s apple pie either, do [ Read more ]

Small Government best protects the Peoples’ Liberties

April 2, 2013

I was happy to see, in his letter of March 26th (http://issuu.com/dailysun/docs/lds3-26-13), that Johan Andersen agrees with the historic and current conservative position that humans can be evil and corruptible.  I wonder if he understands the implications of his position. Our Founding Fathers struggled to create a government that protected peoples’ liberties.  Their focus wasn’t [ Read more ]

Jeanne Shaheen – Enemy of the Constitution

March 24, 2013

Yesterday, the US Senate voted on an amendment to “uphold Second Amendment rights and prevent the United States from entering into the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty“.

So, which do YOU think is the correct philosophy?

March 16, 2013

US President Ronald Reagan (R-CA): “Government exists to protect us from each other.  Where government has gone beyond its limits is in deciding to protect us from ourselves?“ NH State Rep. Kris Roberts (D-Keene):  “Government has to protect us from our own stupidity.” One takes the attitude that Citizens are stupid and must be herded [ Read more ]

Hypocrisy…the Duality in ‘Americur

March 10, 2013

Drones in the Middle East, drones on American soil, Libya coup d’etat support, Egypt insurgency weapons support, Syria coup support. Sounds like the first term of Mephistopheles himself (Dick Cheney), right? The American Left has no soul.  Period.  Watching some of the reaction to Rand Paul’s filibuster last week, it is now perfectly clear that [ Read more ]

Government rules by sheer naked force…

February 26, 2013

Glenn Reynolds, Tennesse law professor, father of Instapundit, interviewed Russ Roberts, an economics professor at George Mason University, recently.  It’s a fairly lengthy (but very interesting) podcast and the talk shifted to discussion of a NY Slimes piece from last year on why the Constitution was really of little value to today’s hipster progressives.  To whet your [ Read more ]

February 23, 2013

Has ignorance reared its ugly head again in the New Hampshire Legislature   Yeah, yeah, more times per day than we could count with all those people there.  Actually, I’m referring to Debra DeSimone, Rockingham 14 who seems to have a questionable view of her relationship to the constitution.

Progressives – just make it too expensive for the ordinary guy to own a gun: a de facto confiscation

February 20, 2013

A typical handgun in the typical gun store can be had from $300 to $900 (and of course, can go WAY higher).  Until the Progressives started on their current ‘don’t waste the Sandy Hook crisis” jeremiad to disarm the populace (even as they admit their gun grabs would NOT have stopped any of the recent [ Read more ]

Well, it is well known that the Left is going bat crazy in trying to rid the American populace of any guns that are of any consequence in defiance of the real purpose of the Second Amendment – defense against a tyrannical govt.  Much has been made that the Founders could not have foreseen modern [ Read more ]

Will New Hampshire Democrats Vote for Indefinite Detention?

February 18, 2013

It’s not every day that you get the opportunity to discover whether or not your elected officials are more interested in government power over the people or in using their own authority in the defense of liberty.  But HB399, the New Hampshire Liberty Act, may provide us with a window into the heart of those [ Read more ]

A use of the Fifth Amendment to protect the Second

February 17, 2013

US Senator Diane Feinstein and NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo have infamously said that they would be fine with an outright confiscation of citizens firearms.  We do see talk of Government officials, via either official or de facto gun registration databases, coming to demand peoples’s guns.  Some have mentioned voluntary gun buybacks (which I would be [ Read more ]

Maybe the start of a Revolution? Pushback against the faux “freedom” of Progressivism?

February 16, 2013

This paragraph from Tim’s post on Zero Hedge really caught my eye: There is no other culture on earth that has the capacity, like Americans currently do, to defeat centralists, defend individual liberty, and end the pursuit of total global power in this lifetime. We are the first and last line. If freedom is undone [ Read more ]
